Chatter the Red Squirrel was very much pleased with himself. He had outwitted Farmer Brown's Boy—not once or twice—but several times. He was having a lot of fun. “Farmer Brown's Boy may be smart, but I am smarter,” boasted Chatterer to himself. “I wonder why he should have thought he could catch me in that trap. He knows well enough that 1 know ail about traps of that kind. I suppose he thought I would have for- “SO THAT'S THE WAY YOU DO IT, YOU SCAMP!” HE EXCLAIMED. gotten. If he thinks he can keep me out of that corncrib he is mistaken— greatly mistaken.” Of course, Farmer Brown's Boy soon discovered that he couldn't catch Chat- terer. So then he decided to try an- other plan. He would find out how Chatterer got int othat cornerib and then stop him. - So he began getting up a little earlier in the morning in order to watch, but for several days he didn't get up early enough. Then came a morning when Chatterer over- slept. Usually he was over at the corn- crib at the very beginning of daylight. Usually the Black Shadows had not yet Across. .

This morn- ing it was broad daylight. “I don't know whether to go over there or not,” thought Chatterer. “Of GRAY The Magnet. course, I don't have to. I've got plenty | ====t-set—s——=e to eat. any ha one day.” He had just about made up his mind that this is what he would do, but fool- ishly ran over to Farmer Brown's door- yard. There were no signs of anybody about. No one was up in Farmer Brown's house. At least, that is what Chatterer thought. He looked over at the clothespost, from which a clothes- line led over to a corner of the corn- crib. That was his bridge, you know. It was by means of this clothesline that he reached the corncrib. He just couldn’t resist the temptation. He darted across the yard, climbed the clothespost and scampered along the clothesline over to the corncrib. 'Now, it so happened that Farmer Brown's Boy was getting up a little extra early that morning. He looked out of the window just as Chatterer was half way across the clothesline. He saw Chatterer and instantly he under- stood how it was that Chatterer could get into the corncrib. He chuckled aloud. “So that's the way you do it, you scamp!” he exclaimed. “I guess you de- serve all the corn you've had. It cer- tainly was stupid of me not to think of that clothesline. Here I've looked at it .every day and never once thought that you might be using it for a bridge. Well, you'd better make the most of today, for tomorrow morning there'll be no bridge there. I certainly am glad to have solved the mystery of how you were getting into that corncrib. Like most mysteries, it is no mystery at all now that I understand it.” Meanwhile Chatterer was busily at work inside the corncrib, without the least suspicion that his secret had been found out. So when later Farmer Brown's Boy came to get the corn to feed the hens, Chatterer watched him from a hiding place and his eyes snapped and he was filled with satis- faction because he was so smart and was fooling Farmer Brown's . He didn’t even wonder what it was that Farmer Brown's Boy was chuckling I suppose it wouldn't do me to keep away from there for itself in about. (Copyright, 1930.) . Mentally inert. .
